Arsene Wenger’s pursuit of Queens Park Rangers forward Loic Remy is not as advanced as we first expected.

All the signs were pointing towards a move to the Emirates for the World Cup striker, after he showed his love for the gunners by watching their defeat of West Brom at the Emirates last year. That coupled with Wenger’s French connection should have been enough to complete a move which seemed like a perfect opportunity for both parties.

Arsenal versus Leicester always invokes memories of Dennis Bergkamp scoring 3 of the best goals to have ever graced the Premier League. It was a hat trick fit for the grandest stadiums in the world; That it was scored at Filbert Street, Leicester Citys muddy, old, decrepit shack took nothing away from the glory and only served to highlight the quality of the Premiership and of course the magician Bergkamp.

How Arsenal could do with the non-flying Dutchman right now as Olivier Giroud starts what is sure to be a lifetime in the treatment room. The big question is who will replace the big Frenchman?

Arsene Wenger has seemingly shown the green light on Radamel Falcao’s move to Arsenal by failing to rule out that the Colombian striker will join on loan for the season.

AS Monaco have made Falcao available after it became clear that the former Porto and Atletico Madrid man wanted out of the moneybags Ligue 1 side, although Real Madrid were odds on to snatch his ahead of the competition.

After an extremely tight 1-0 win over Besiktas in the Champions league play-offs, Arsenal have made it to the group stages of the Champions League. It has been 17 years in a row Arsenal have managed to secure their passage into the prestigious competition and this is a statistic not to be taken lightly.

Arsenal have drawn Borussia Dortmund, Galatasaray and Anderlecht from the three remaining pots. On paper, it may seem like Arsenal have a fairly tricky draw on their hands because all the other teams involved either finished as champions or as runners up in their respective leagues.

Here is an in depth analysis of what to expect from each team.

Italian journalist Nicolo Schira has claimed that Arsenal officials will meet up with representatives of AS Monaco to discuss the potential loan of wantaway striker Radamel Falcao this week.

Falcao is on astronomical wages in Monaco and takes home 100% of his €350,000-a-month salary as he does not have to pay tax, however the Colombian is said to be desperate for a move away from the Russian-owned club.
